Prepay Lunch Process
Every child in Sylvania Schools has a meal account regardless whether they buy lunch from school cafeteria or not. Students can access their meal account by using their six digit student ID number.
All Sylvania Schools cafeterias use a computerized point of sale system. This system allows students to put money on account instead of paying cash each day. If you would like to prepay for your child’s meals, we can accept any amount of money either as cash or check. Please make checks payable to your child’s school cafeteria. Be sure to write your child’s name or student ID number on the check.
- When your child comes through lunch line they either swipe, scan, or enter student ID number into a PIN pad or scanner.
- The cashier then presses a key that brings the student’s name and account balance onto the screen.
- The cashier then enters the items purchased and the amount is automatically deducted from the student’s balance.
- Your child is the only one who can access his or her meal account. Any unused money stays in your child’s account even when they move to next grade including going from elementary to junior high and junior high to high school.
- Students can still pay cash each day if they wish. They will still enter their student ID numbers into the PIN pad or scanner.
- If a student is free or reduced, they will still need to enter their student ID number into the PIN pad or scanner. The computer system keeps track of meal sales and reports to the state accordingly. Please be advised if your child is free or reduced, no one but the cashier will know. Other students in line don’t know whether your child has prepaid for meals or receives a free lunch.
You will find the point of sale system helpful to you. For example if you want prepay money to be used for meals only please send us a note with your payment we will enter it into the computer. Also, we can enter any dietary restrictions your child might have into our system. When the child’s information comes up on the screen this will be displayed in prominent red letters to make sure the cashier checks the child’s purchases for any offending products or predetermined spending amount.
I am confident you will find the prepay system convenient to use. Our lunch lines move faster when students take advantage of the prepay option. This gives students more time to sit down and enjoy their lunch instead of standing in line.
